Under IHSA rules, we are “catch riders” and must compete on the host school’s horses (we do not bring any horses with us to shows). This makes the rider well-rounded and tests all aspects of your riding ability. We accept all levels of experience from beginner to advanced and horse ownership is not necessary.

The Women’s Soccer Club competes in the Louisiana branch of the Texas Collegiate Soccer League (TCSL) and is a regular at the NIRSA Region IV Championship Tournament.

Our team is a regular contender in NIRSA Region IV, playing in the finals three out of the last four years, winning it all in 2012 which automatically qualified us to compete in the “Championship Division” of the NCCS National Soccer Championships for the first time in LSU school history.

Through several years of hard work and dedication, LSU Powerlifting has grown to be one of the best teams in the country. We are proud of the seven National Championships we have earned and hope to continue this legacy. Though we have achieved great success over the years, we have not lost sight of the main purpose of our team: to mold our members into leaders and give them the opportunities and skills to grow as individuals. We hope that our lifters will take the tools and lessons they learn while with us to help them to be successful in their lives.
